Career Prospects Of An Hnd Mechanical Engineering Graduate by cutiedave(m): 2:01pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
I just finished my ond in mechanical engineering from yaba college of technology, where i finished with distinction Am at a crossroad of either going for my hnd or applying for the jamb direct entry next year Am more inclined to go for my hnd due to the age factor (i just clocked 20) I would really like to hear from the engineers out there if mechanical engineering graduates with hnd certificates are actually discriminated out there in the labour market as propagated by the media... Expecting replies and advice from the engineers out there Cc lalasticlala |

HND distinction is still not equivalent to degree. After HND you will still be admitted to 200level. Even with HND + PGD youre still not equal to a Bsc. If you find yourself in academic settings you're finished. Even if you're 30+ my best advice is get the next DE jamb form. |

cutiedave:I would have replied you since but i have been so busy lately. Pardon me please. Now... The reason is dichotomy/discimination. But all depends on where you choose to belong. In the engineering field, an hnd holder can never be called an engineer, rather a technologist. Unless he or she enrols for post graduate diploma, pgd in a COREN accredited UNIVERSITY after hnd. In Engineering, there is cadre. Engineers at the top, followed by technologist, then technicians and finally the artisans/craftsmen. Engineer=B.Eng, B.Tech or Bsc Technologist =HND Technicians =OND Artisans/Craftsmen=SSCE/NABTEB/TRADE TEST etc. BUT MIND YOU THEY ARE ONE SINGLE FAMILY AS THEY ARE WORKING HANDS IN HANDS. If your dream is to become an Engineer then nothing less than a bachelor's degree is required. Makes your choice, no one is looked down on! Thank you. |

You are just 20 years old. Don't ever make the mistake of furthering to HND. The level of discrimination is alarming. You will regret it forever and you will have to battle with the feeling of inferiority complex all your life. apply for DE to a university. |
